I like the part limiting what can be listed as additional "fees and taxes" on statements. If a carrier advertises a plan for $39.99 / month, it ought to cost $39.99 / month excluding any taxes that vary by the region the phone is sold in. Basically state, county, and local sales taxes are the only fess that should be allowed on top of the advertised price.

If the advertised price isn't the actual price, how are consumers supposed to comparison shop? Without the easy ability to comparison shop for consumers, the wireless service providers are not operating in a competitive environment.
